You are not going to damage the radio by using a long cable.

I would not be worried using 25 feet length. If you have ay RFI problems, just 
pass the cable through a ferrite core for a few turns, with the ferrite coil on 
the radio end of the cable.

The only reason I might hesitate to go longer would be the capacitance of the 
cable, but you can determine that by trial-and-error.
